MARK SELBY is now 5-4 favourite at Betfair for China Open glory ahead of his Saturday morning semi-final.
His opponent, Kurt Maflin of Norway, shocked Shaun Murphy in the last eight and is 4-1 at Betfred for another upset against the Jester from Leicester, who is 1-4 at Ladbrokes.
In the other last-four clash in Beijing home hero Ding Junhui is hot favourite to make the final. He's 1-4 at Boylesports while bet365 make Gary Wilson a 7-2 shot.
Serena Williams can clinch her third successive Miami Open title when she takes on Carla Suarez Navarro in the Saturday night final. Unsurprisingly Serena is massive favourite at just 2-15 with Boylesports while Suarez Navarro is 8-1 at Sportingbet.
Serena dropped a set in both the quarters and semis and for another 2-1 win it's 17-4 at Sportingbet.
Other Saturday sporting highlights include Anthony Joshua v Jason Gavern's boxing bout plus rugby and NBA and NHL action. Will it be one round or two for hot favourite Joshua?
Good luck with your bets and post your sporting tips and chat here.

Well boys if you got a winner. I know there were a few but don’t want to go through them all.
Picksix good to hear it’s your passion as it’s mine outside of the real football haha, so will be good to have your thoughts when the season starts. Few of the lads on here do very well. Almost draft day :)
First time posting been keeping eyes on this website for past couple weeks and you guys seem to know ure stuff
I’m not to bad myself here’s first post
Wizards – 6.5
Spurs – 5
Nets + 6
Pays EVS ***WON***
Looks safe to me
Don’t know if any of u guys were on it as it was my first post but hoping to contribute
Jordan I’m probly neck and neck between football and American football but betting wise u gotta love the NFL
Betting wise yes, but also just love the game to be fair mate. The game, and Aaron Rodgers haha
Well done on your winner mate.
These aren’t bets just yet. Seeing what re-invented thinks of them.
Re-invented. Need to have a briefing on this weekends UFC if you’re about.
A bit of value even in the favourites which is a surprise. My likings.
Al Iaquinta 11/10 Iaquinta by KO/TKO 5/1 or fight to go the distance NO 13/8
Mendes/Lamas to go the distance NO EVS
Chiesa/Clarke Method of victory KO/TKO or Submission 10/11, or fight to go the distance NO @ EVS
Looks like the Celtics wanted their season to end early and not get to the play-offs. Unlucky Huggy and Jordan.
Still some profit with my single, so no harm done.
Posting this early but not a tip (yet). Spread for Mavericks/Warriors is already out, and Warriors -4.5 seems a good pick. Can’t see the Warriors play it as risky as against the Suns. What do you think Jordan, Huggy, … ?
——-
Posted yesterday:
My single is Spurs -13.5 against the Nuggets. Spurs need to keep pushing and grab some spots for the playoffs.
*** WON ***
Would love to hear Rals view on the boxing tonight
dan, he mentioned something last week. From everything I’ve read it’s a first or second round KO.
Jordan I’ve just started doing some ufc research, been looking into laquinta v masvidal since 6 this morning. I can’t wait to watch this fight! Both love to be on the front foot attacking, both with brilliant accuracy and striking. I’ve seen that masvidal isn’t happy fighting laquinta saying he isn’t on the same level, to underestimate a fighter like laquinta is a very bad move. I think laquinta will take this win, but I can see al laquinta taking a decision victory here. So is the safe option just the al laquinta win at good odds? Also I can’t see mendes v lamas going the distance and at evens I’ll be on that
huggy`s main bet for tonight
boston celtics -5.5 , need the win to edge out miami for the final play-off birth
smaller bet on brooklyn nets -2.5 home to raptors
pity celtics had the 3rd quarter off , but the smaller bet came in with the nets covering the 2.5 in a 5 point win , so a small loss overall and 12 from 13 .
should have kept riding the spurs , r well . see wats about later..
also advised Danny that i felt wizards game would go under the 191.5 , finished 101 – 87 …
Two bets for me tonight:
Clippers -8 @ 1.91
Hornets/76ers – Under 191.5 points
Two bets for me tonight:
Clippers -8 @ 1.9
Hornets/76ers – Under 191.5 points @1.9
after a quick look at the card tonight im going for
magic -2 *won*
bulls -3.5 *won*
1.12/1
quick look at tommmorows boxing i fancy:
A.Joshua Round 1 6/5
Stevenson KO 8/13
Beterbeiv rounds 1-3 13/8
Bit more of a write up for tonight, Joshua is coming off a back injury so you could speculate that he may go a couple of rounds tonight and be perhaps tentative, however joshua doesnt let guys off the hook that easy, he punches with real spite and gavern is a journeyman who admitted that even sparring with joshua badly hurt him. been tossing up between rnd 1 or 2, ill go with 1.
Bika has never been stopped, but he has never fought a puncher like stevenson, i expect that to change tonight with stevenson looking to impress after many suggesting he is cherrypicking oppents and ducking kovalev.
Beterbiev beat killer kovalev in the amateurs twice, he’s only had 7 fights as a pro however the level of opposition has been high, he is slightly robotic as a boxer, but packs real power, stopping all of his opponents in the first 3, even if campillo runs for the first few rounds, i expect beterbiev to close off the ring and finish him in the 2nd or 3rd.
DeMarcus Cousins (Kings) Over 25.5 points @ 5/6 @ PP **LOSE** 24. Gutted! One bloody shot!
Re-invented just seen your comment. Cheers mate good to hear your thoughts.

Anthony Joshua v Jason Gavern (Boxing)
This may have already been mentioned but it remains a great bet in my view. AJ takes on the journeyman Gavern who most will recall from Prize fighter in 2013 when he lost to AJ’s last opponent Sprott. Gavern also fought Wilder last year and somehow managed to make it to the end of round 4. AJ is taking him on in his 11th fight and has a further fight lined up at the end of May. He will want to dispose of Gavern early for a number of reasons. He has been out injured, has not fought since Sprott, will want do him in half the time Wilder did in order to keep the hype going and finally the fight in May is the one that will supposedly see AJ get some rounds. I am near enough 100% certain that AJ can have him out within 60 seconds let alone a round if he really wants to. Gavern will come out gunning which will leave AJ with no option but to hopefully get the job done early. Gavern has a very poor defence and all of AJ’s punches will hurt him whether they connect cleanly or not. Gavern took the fight on with 7 days notice having previously fought Gerald Washington on the 13th March losing out on points. He has previously sparred with AJ and took a fair bit of punishment. The most revealing thing for me was the weigh in yesterday. Gavern could not look AJ in the eyes. He looked petrified. Take a look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13vQ74_g5fc He is here for a payday and nothing else. Interestingly it is his 19th wedding anniversary and will not want to take too much punishment.
Rounds 1-2 1/2 Ladbrokes (Main bet 80% stake)
Round 1 11/8 Ladbrokes (20% stake)
Alex, everything I’ve read on this fight says Gavern can’t go past 2 and is likely to be knocked out in the first 2 minutes so good luck with the bets.
Thanks Mr F, just hope AJ brings his ruthless streak with him. On Sky Sports 2 from around 10 pm I should think.
Jinxed myself today! 4-1 QPR!?!

NCAAB – March Madness
Additional Spread —
Duke -1
Duke will be too strong and should see off a Michigan State side who when both teams met earlier in the season lost by 10 points.. Duke freshman and star man Okafor should be too much for this Michigan State team too handle.
Kentucky -1
This should be a much closer game, however I am pretty confident Kentucky who remain undefeated will be able to see of Wisconsin and progress through to the final to face a showdown with Duke. Kentucky is a team filled with future NBA talent and 4 players projected to be drafted in the first round in the 2015 NBA draft.. Kaminsky for Wisconsin has enjoyed a great season.. However tonight Kentucky will have the size to deal with him. (Previous match up Kentucky won by 1)
Win Double @1.33

Finally….my post appeared
Btw huggy just now saw that you are on POR TRAIL BLAZERS. .I’m cashing out on my no Pelicans +6.5 ..Haha. ..I can’t see that coming in when you are on Portland
AP, calm down man – who knows why it didn’t post.
AP_TIPS , just think portland inform and great at home and the fact that pelicans hit and miss away may just sway it.
also gone on a prop bet with davies hoping portland shut him out..
mate all about opinions hoping you made the right call cashing out , put a few quid on your nhl shouts , hoping for a good night..
best of luck mate , hey if i`m wrong i`ll apologize…
Jordan I’ll be on your ufc tips, not much standing out for me. Really looking forward to aldo mcgregor!!! Even though I think aldo is a well rounded fighter I think McGregors strength will be a little to much for aldo. Such a hard one to call though, who would you put you money on mate?
Think we should work together on cards in in the future Jordan! Couldn’t have gone any better!! The main two bets flew in
Anyone know what time the Joshua fight is on?
Anyone know what time the Joshua fight is on?
Thanks Mr.F, hope it is soon as MOTD is on at half past ha
Alty, it’s started – let’s hope it’s over by MoTD.
Anyone able to check if there’s any injuries for the Grizzlies the line suddenly changed
Epic failure with AJ, Garven proved a slippery customer. Onwards.
No worrys there must have been an error on 365 they were + 6 and know they are back to – 6
Hey guys,
My single for the night is Toronto -3.5 at home against the Celtics.
Not really have to explain how bad Celtics are looking currently and home record of the Raptors against them is just too good.
Good luck everyone.

Re-invented cheers for the thoughts pal. I’m not sure whether Mcgregor is just smoke and mirrors. Hasn’t really fought anybody elite enough to be going in at the deep end with Aldo.
wasnt on myself but brilliant tipping jordan
Cheers huggy mate. Only small bets but still happy with that to say its rather unpredictable at times.
Just going to stick a double up for the NBA tonight guys not had the best of luck on it recently though so smaller stakes for me,
Grizzlis over 50.5 and Portland over 48.5 team half time points! Double pays just over 3/1 @SkyBet good luck tonight!
Cycling: Tour of Flanders 2015
Big race this Sunday when the most important race in Flanders starts, it’s the biggest sport-event in Belgium and one of the 5 monuments in cycling. I think we will see the same names we saw in the E3 race. This is a similar race and the riders will race a part of the same roads and climbs. Like the E3 race my picks will be Vanmarcke, Stybar and Thomas.
Some bookies have Peter Sagan as the favourite for this race, but after his performances in Strade Bianche (31th), E3 (30th) and Gent-Wevelgem (10th) I can’t see him beating the others with this form. Vanmarkce is the other favourite and I see him as a main contender, but for some reason he just can’t win a big race and looks to run out of power in the final stages. Below you will find my bets, some already posted earlier this week.
Winner: Thomas @ 7.00 with BV (now 5.5)
He won the E3 race and was 3rd in the windy battle which was Gent-Wevelgem. He looks like the strongest in the spring classics and after tipping him for the E3, I will have some on him again.
Winner: Stybar @ 9.00 each-way with BV (now 8.00)
Stybar was 2nd in the E3 and I can see him winning it or end up on the podium again.
Match-ups:
OSS v Theuns
VANDENBERGH v Stannard
Double @ 2.10 with 888sport
Oss has showed himself in every cobbled race this season and will help Van Avermaet as long as he can. Theuns is a young talent and showed some good racing on the flat races, but I can’t see him finish with the big guys tomorrow.
Stannard is also a rider who likes flat roads, he will try to stay with Thomas as long as he can. Vandenbergh has a very good record in these races in his living / training area, I can see him finish between 5 and 10.
NBA SINGLE:
– Brooklyn Nets +9.5 @ $1.92 (10.8 points)
Hawks have made no secret about lineup changes and resting players leading up to the play offs. The Nets are in form and should keep it close.
Small prop bet on Damian Lillard Over 6.5 Assists @ EVS @ 365
WTF Brooklyn Nets???!!! Never saw this coming…
Talk about fail!! Not one market!
Bucks -1.5
Hornets -1.5
Grizzlies -1.5
